"Azu, what should we do now?" Pei Mianman no longer had his usual smile, but his face turned pale.
In fact, as a practitioner, death is not that scary.
But there are many ways to die. It's okay to be killed by someone who is not as skilled as a person, but to be bitten to death by a dense crowd of snakes is really unacceptable.
She now finally understood why there were no wounds on the skeletons she had observed before. They were obviously poisoned by these strange snakes. Their size meant that their teeth would not leave any big marks on the bones. After poisoning these people,
All the snakes burrowed into their corpses and gnawed their flesh to death...
Pei Mianman shuddered at the thought of many snakes inside his body, crawling in and out of his eye sockets.
Zu An's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment. If he could resist the densely packed monster snakes, they would definitely be no match for him, so he could only find another way.
However, they had already circled the entire pit and could not find an exit.
Actually, think about it, this big pit was obviously designed to kill these people. Not only did the surrounding walls be made extremely smooth and hard to prevent climbing, but a seal was also specially placed on it to prevent any fish from jumping out. So what?
Might there be a way to survive?
Zu An couldn't help but feel a little desperate. Why did he accidentally fall into this pit at that time?
Hey, wait a minute, that seal didn't exist when we fell. It can't be that the seal is the kind of thing that allows people to come in but not come out. It shouldn't be so advanced.
His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. The four walls were all straight, but he was very sure that he passed a slope when he fell. Even though the slope was very steep, it was by no means vertical.
"Azu?" Pei Mianman on the side saw Zu An in a daze and called him while using black fire to repel the strange snake that rushed nearby.
Zu An came to his senses and hurriedly said to Pei Mianman: "Let's go back quickly."
"Go back? Back to where?" Pei Mianman was a little confused.
Zu An replied: "Go back to the place where we first fell. There should be an exit there."
Pei Mianman said hurriedly: "But we just took a look. It is surrounded by straight and hard walls, and there is no exit."
Just because they couldn't find an exit around there, they thought of looking elsewhere. Now they have crossed the distance of several football fields. If they go back, they will be full of weird snakes.
Zu An quickly explained: "Many times what we see may not be real. Maybe there are some mechanisms or illusions around us that make us mistakenly think it is a wall."
Pei Mianman was still confused: "But we have checked the surroundings and there is no mechanism."
She is not stupid, but rather smart. Otherwise, she would not be the best among her peers at such a young age. Before she left, she checked the surrounding walls to confirm that there were no traps.
Zu An replied: "We just checked the section closest to the ground. What if the mechanism is on the wall in mid-air?"
He pulled Pei Mianman back and swung his sword to cut off the strange snake that came close to him, while continuing to analyze: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the contradiction here. Since there is this seal on it, why are you still destroying the wall?
It’s so smooth and hard that it’s impossible to climb?”
"Huh?" Pei Mianman subconsciously thought that the seal was for experts, and the smooth wall was for ordinary people, but now that there is a seal, designing the wall like this is completely unnecessary.
Zu An quickly said: "We have checked before and there are no traces of being tied up in the postures of these people before they were born, so they should be able to try to escape from this place at any time. If they are put in and then sealed, what if these people take advantage of that gap?"
It would be very troublesome to escape, so most of the time we should seal it first."
"Then there's a problem. Once the seals are done, how can we let them in? Obviously there is another channel specifically for sending people in. When people are sent in, they are probably stunned, so
I didn’t even know this channel existed.”
Pei Mianman immediately questioned: "In this case, we can also knock these people in first and then seal them calmly, so we don't have to worry about them escaping."
"There are three reasons!" Zu An explained. "First, there are too many bones down here. It would be too much work to get them all at once. Moreover, I just observed along the way that these bones are also different. They are not uniform.
They are distributed at the bottom of the pit, but in groups, with a certain distance between each other. Obviously these groups do not know each other yet. We accidentally stepped on some bones while running just now, some are still very hard, and some are still very hard.
The latter is much pinker, and obviously the latter has been stored for a longer period of time."
"Secondly, if I were the decision-maker for a huge pit with such a large amount of work, I would never be willing to use it as a one-time item. It would definitely have to be used repeatedly for a long time. This would create the possibility of the secret passage I just mentioned.
"
"Third, and most importantly, we were conscious when we fell into the pit just now. We must have rolled over a huge slope. This is also the basis for my inference."
Pei Mianman heard a pair of beautiful eyes. She was already in despair, but now after listening to his analysis, she suddenly felt that the future was bright. Although she had not seen the existence of the secret passage with her own eyes, she had obviously believed it.
: "Azu, you are really amazing!"
Being praised by such a sweet-sounding girl with adoring eyes, Zu An's head couldn't help but heat up: "I'm already great, don't fall in love with me all of a sudden."
"Bah, stinky!" Pei Mianman spat with a peach blossom look on his face, still quite impressed in his heart. This guy seems to be able to maintain an optimistic attitude at all times, and can also infect the people around him, giving people a sense of security.
.
However, the two of them soon ran out of energy to talk. On the way back, there were more and more strange snakes, making it even impossible to stop.
Fortunately at first, Pei Mianman could use the black flames, but those strange snakes were a little afraid of the flames and did not dare to get too close.
But Pei Mianman was seriously injured after all and could not maintain the black flame continuously. He had to rest for a long time before igniting it again.
Zu An could only wave the long sword in his hand to clean up the strange snakes along the way. Fortunately, his "evil-proof sword technique" did not consume much vitality, and at the same time, it
The straight-forward play style is very suitable for the current situation where there are enemies everywhere.
But his "Sunflower Phantom" movement technique is of no use. The main function of this movement technique is to dodge enemies, but now that there are strange snakes everywhere, it is impossible to dodge.
Looking at the densely packed strange snakes on the ground, Zu An could only point his toes on the bones to use his strength to move around. However, he was almost bitten by the strange snakes hidden in the bones several times. If he hadn't reacted quickly and Pei Mianman hadn't
He used black flames several times to save him, but he was already dead on the spot.
Forced into desperation, Zu An invented another method, which was to jump directly to the wall next to him. Although the wall was smooth and difficult to rely on, he could directly insert it with the Tai'a sword and the death dagger in turn.
No matter how hard the wall is, it won't be enough in front of the Tai'a sword and the fatal dagger, which are as sharp as clay.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief, patted Pei Mianman hanging in his arms and said, "This way, we finally don't have to be as dangerous as down there."
He planned to take turns inserting the two swords and return step by step to the position where he fell from the beginning.
Pei Mianman hummed and her face turned a little red. Now her arms were hooked around the man's neck, and her whole body was pressed tightly into his arms. She could feel the heat coming from each other's skin through their clothes. No matter how bold she was on weekdays,
, I feel a little shy and embarrassed now.
Zu An also felt a little uncomfortable. Smelling the fragrance of the beauty in his arms and the magnificent softness on his chest, he felt a little warm all over. The huge pit that was originally full of dangers seemed not as annoying as it was at the beginning...
At this moment, he suddenly felt the beauty in his arms slowly sliding down. He couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly released a hand to hold her thigh: "Manman, don't let go, it will be troublesome if you fall."
Already."
Now those strange snakes were gathered under the two of them, each with their necks raised, looking directly at the two of them with their single upright eyes, hissing and spitting out words, which looked extremely scary.
Pei Mianman bit his lip and felt embarrassed: "I'm so weak that I can't hold on."
Where is this guy putting his hands?
But she also knew that the other party was trying to save her, so she didn't say anything.
"Then wrap your legs around my waist. It will be more stable." Zu An said as he lifted her legs and put them on his waist.
"I don't want it!" Pei Mianman refused hastily. Even though she was an inexperienced little girl, she knew that this gesture was quite indecent and she couldn't stand it.
Zu An was also sweating: "Sister, this is not because I want to take advantage of you. Now I have to insert my hands back and forth on the wall to move forward. If I hold you with one hand, I can only hang in place.
Moved."
Pei Mianman looked up and could already see the veins on his arm holding the sword bulging out, obviously bearing a lot of weight. She was not the kind of hypocritical person. Although she was a little embarrassed, thinking about the current situation
Still agreed: "Okay, but you are not allowed to tell Chu Yan about this, no, you are not allowed to tell anyone."
Zu An was confused: "Why should I tell her to do this kind of thing?"
Pei Mianman breathed a sigh of relief, bit his red lips, hooked his neck with his hands, tried hard to lift his legs and clamped them around his waist, hanging in his arms like a sloth.
Feeling the other's masculine aura, the two of them were now in very close physical contact. Pei Mianman, who had always been fiery and loved joking, became a little shy. She buried her head on his chest, trembling slightly, and did not dare to say another word.
Even though Zu An had no evil thoughts at first, seeing how sensitive her body was, he couldn't help but feel a trepidation in his heart.
However, the hissing sounds of the strange snakes around him brought him back to reality, and he realized that the danger was not over yet.
He hurriedly stretched out a hand, holding the fatal dagger and was about to move forward, when suddenly several rays of blue light came over him.
The hair on his body suddenly exploded, and he quickly raised his knife and shot down those blue lights. He had already seen that the strange snake that was shooting at him was that kind of snake.
I saw those strange snakes on the ground coiling themselves one by one, and then suddenly ejected, flying directly towards the two people in mid-air.
While Zu An blocked with his dagger, he was secretly grateful. Fortunately, he hadn't stabbed the sword into the wall and left. Otherwise, both hands would have been stuck on the wall at that moment, and there would be no counterattack at all.
And now that he was in mid-air, the number of strange snakes that could be shot up were far less than those on the ground, so he could barely cope with them.
It's a pity that he can't feel happy at all. Now that he is entangled by these strange snakes, he can only defend with all his strength and cannot move at all.
Pei Mianman also saw his predicament and said hurriedly: "Give me some time. When I recover a little, I will use black fire to help you, and you can take the opportunity to move forward."
"Okay!" At this point, only the two of them could work together. Zu An concentrated on chopping up the strange snake that shot up.
After about five minutes, Pei Mianman finally spoke: "I can barely use the black flame now, but it can only last for three breaths. You should seize the time and move forward as quickly as possible, and at the same time, make sure to enter the defense immediately after the time is up.
state."
"Okay!" Zu An nodded, then concentrated on preparations.
Pei Mianman thought for a while, took out a pendant from his neck and put it around his neck: "Put this on."
Zu An was stunned: "What is this?" He had actually noticed a red rope hanging around the other person's neck, but the thing tied underneath had been buried deep in the ditch on her chest, and he had no idea what it was.
.
Watching her slowly pull something out from her chest at such a close distance, the snow-white skin was looming, almost causing his nose to bleed.
"This is the amulet my mother gave me. It can make you immune to the damage of the black flames. I am not in a good condition right now and my control over the black flames is not as good as usual. We are so close to each other. What if I don't get it later?
Be careful if it burns you, you will be in trouble." Pei Mianman explained.
"Ah?" Zu An was deeply moved and couldn't help but say, "This should be your most precious thing, right? If you give this to me, won't you be defenseless against me in the future? What if I get angry with you?
If you read it badly, you won't be able to resist even if you want to."
You must know that most of Pei Mianman's cultivation lies in this black flame. If this pendant can be immune to her black flame, then her life and death will be completely in the hands of others.
Pei Mianman glanced at him resentfully, her eyes full of jealousy: "If I was really afraid of this, how could I give it to you? Hurry up and get ready to take action."
"Okay!" Zu An did not dare to be distracted at this critical moment.
"Start!" As soon as Pei Mianman finished speaking, a blazing black flame ignited in one hand, and the strange snakes that shot towards him burned and screamed as they fell.
The black snakes below were afraid of this strange flame and did not dare to act rashly for a while.
Zu An took this opportunity to pick up the dagger and pierced the wall next to him, moving forward quickly like Tarzan.
During the whole process, he felt that the black flames had changed. In the past, he always felt that the black flames were terrifying and full of destructive power. But now, he suddenly felt that the black flames were quite warm and even had a sense of intimacy. Thinking about it, all of this was...
It was because of the pendant that he could feel a warmth coming from his chest. He didn't know if it was coming from the pendant itself or the body temperature remaining on the beauty's body?
"Defend quickly!" Pei Mianman reminded hurriedly.
Zu An was already prepared. At this time, he waved the Tai'a sword to stop the strange snakes that were shooting at him. Compared with the fatal dagger, the longer Tai'a sword was more useful at this time.
At this time, those strange snakes stopped attacking, as if they realized that the series of attacks just now were in vain and led to death.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them hung in the air to rest, waiting for Pei Mianman to recover again before making the next jump.
Smelling the fragrance of his daughter who was close at hand, Zu An was about to tease her a few words, but suddenly his eyes froze because he noticed many strange snakes entwined below.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as more and more strange snakes entangled themselves, they gradually formed a big ball of strange snakes.
Looking at their non-stop posture, it is obvious that the big ball will get bigger and bigger, higher and higher, and the distance between them will get closer and closer.
Previously, because they were in mid-air, only some of the monster snakes had the jumping power to successfully threaten them. But once they formed a big ball, many monster snakes could climb onto the ball, and after shortening the distance, they could jump over and threaten them.
.
"Hold me tight, we'll move to the next place right away." Zu An said in a deep voice, continuing to stay here was waiting to be beaten.
"Ah? But I haven't recovered yet." There was a layer of fragrant sweat on Pei Mianman's temples. It was obvious that the period just now had consumed her a lot, and now she no longer had the strength to use black flames to protect him.
"No, I can teleport a certain distance." Zu An originally planned to stay there in times of crisis, but now it is really dangerous to stay there any longer.
Pei Mianman suddenly realized it. Thinking of his ability to teleport during previous battles, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly wrapped himself around him.
Zu An summoned Gale. The farthest teleportation distance of Gale is about a hundred meters. The pit is about the size of several football fields. He cannot teleport to the other side at once. After a rough estimate, it should take
It must be summoned at least five times.
It's a pity that he has reached his limit by summoning strong winds three times in a row, and the distance is still not enough. But now he doesn't care much anymore, he will leave here first.
The next second, he had appeared a hundred meters away. Because he was in mid-air, in order to prevent him from accidentally falling, he positioned himself directly on the wall. The moment he appeared, he hurriedly thrust his sword in one hand.
On the wall, he turned sideways and pressed his body against the wall to prevent the weak Pei Mianman from hitting the wall directly.
However, the huge impact still made Pei Mianman fall deeply into his arms.
With a cry, Pei Mianman's face suddenly turned red.
You must know that now the two of them were holding each other in an extremely intimate position, and this hard collision made their bodies tremble even more.
Pei Mianman bit her red lips, her eyes watery, and whispered into his ear: "Bad guy, Chu Yan, does he know you are so perverted?"
"You really don't blame me. This is an instinctive reaction of my body. I can't control it." Zu An was about to cry but had no tears. You must know that he was obviously kind-hearted to save people.
"I know..." Pei Mianman paused and added in a low voice, "I don't blame you."
Zu An's head trembled, what did this woman mean by this sentence?
But he didn't have time to think about this, because the huge snake ball also rolled over in the direction of the two people, and as it rolled, they gathered much more efficiently than before, and the ball became bigger and bigger.
He groaned secretly and hurriedly reminded Pei Mianman, then summoned Gale again and teleported forward.
Summoning a strong wind three times in a row, Zu An gasped for air. He could not summon a strong wind again in a short period of time. You must know that these three times were the longest distance teleportation, and the consumption was really huge.
Seeing the huge strange snake ball chasing after him, fortunately Pei Mianman recovered a little and used black flames to cover him.
Zu An took the opportunity to move forward several tens of meters, but then there was nothing the two of them could do.
Zu An looked at the remaining few tens of meters reluctantly. He was 80% sure that the secret passage should be on the mid-air wall over there, but it was a pity that the two of them couldn't get through it now.
While waving his sword to resist the strange snakes that kept shooting at him, he watched helplessly as the huge snake ball not far away got closer and closer.
He roughly estimated that they would have no time to recover before they caught up.
But the instinct of survival still made him keep swinging his sword to kill the strange snake that was approaching. But when the snake ball came to the feet of the two of them, they were really desperate.
At this moment, the wall not far away suddenly cracked, and a huge tongue shot out, directly piercing into the pile of terrifying snake balls below.
---
I have combined the contents of the next two chapters into one chapter, and I have made up for what I owed yesterday.
I saw a lot of people in the comment area saying that they never paid up every time they owed something. I found it a bit strange. Except for a few chapters that I owed some time a few months ago and haven't paid up yet, in the past two or three months, every time I owed them, I never paid them up.
The chapters that were owed the first time were made up immediately the next day, but they didn’t state in the chapters that they were made up that they were made up. Did this cause a misunderstanding?
This chapter has been completed!
